It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-4980 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Qradar Security Information and Event Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4980/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4980/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-4980","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-4980/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-4980","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c6gc-m5cw-45qg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"SIEM software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"IBM QRadar SIEM uses weak encryption for data in transit and at rest when host connection encryption is disabled, exposing sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"qradar_security_information_and_event_manager","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/C:H/A:N/AC:H/UI:N/I:N/S:U/PR:N/AV:A/E:U/RC:C/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-319","name":"Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information"},{"id":"CWE-312","name":"Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information"}],"description":"IBM QRadar SIEM 7.3 and 7.4 uses less secure methods for protecting data in transit between hosts when encrypt host connections is not enabled as well as data at rest.
